This entry shares images from Andrew Gryf Paterson's Fellowship residency at exMedia Lab, Kunsthogschule für Medien Köln (Media Art Academy Cologne) from Mid-October 2018 until late February 2019.

The images show the 'desktop kitchen lab' that Paterson set up and worked in within the new exMedia Lab for a period of 6 weeks, from 8th November to the 21st December 2018.

"It is my ambition to bring to the newly forming ExMedia lab an interest in exploring connections between experimental informatics and bioarts or ecological arts, especially through the practice of food hacking and ‘kitchen lab’ practices.

In addition to the practice-based experiments and research, I am interested to organise a gathering and seminar related to ‘kitchen lab’ practices can be a starting point for socially-engaged bioarts, art-science collaborations, and informatics at other levels of practice, including cellular, bacterial, molecular levels in collaboration with exMedia Lab at Kunsthochschule für Medien Köln."

Early speculative directions of practice-led activity..

How can we come to terms with our data trails? - “Lets finally eat last year’s calendar and be done with it..” Imagine you send a letter, embedded with local culture that is beneficial for your addressee's stomach and intestines.. - Can we give a boost’s to each other’s gut microbiomes? Is there an ingestible ritual that acknowledges 6th mass extinction? [or some other ongoing catastrophe] - In Finnish language, when someone is grieving, they can say to that one, Otan osaa // I take part (of your suffering)..

What is a Kitchen Lab?

Kitchenlab is a (bio-material & chemical) open lab developed around equipment available in the home kitchen, in conjunction with tools from other spheres of practice. Activity will aim to gather those interested in working between the studio, the kitchen and the laboratory, because food culture, experimental lab culture and artistic or creative practice overlap there. Kitchenlab as pedagogy can explore the following questions, related to social and participatory arts and heritage:

– How to be a good guest and/or be a good host in a kitchen lab?

– What tools and equipment are good to have?

– What are the other uses of the kitchen?

– How to communicate and document what goes on?

– How to transfer knowledge across generations, cultural distinctions, different species?

– How to contribute to the commons?

– How to socialize the activity beyond one’s base?
